    ran a command, now I have an extra administrator account that doesn't appear in users


    I ran this command net user Administrator /active:yes for something I can't quite remember and now a new administrator account has popped up. I can't seem to remove it because it doesn't appear in the "other users" section of the settings. What can I do? I tried running net user Administrator /active:no but nothing seemed to happen.

    :)

    Hi John,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue.

    You can Enable the built in Administrator account in Windows 10, then create an Administrator account.

    I suggest you to refer the steps below and check if it helps


    • Press Windows+ X, select
      Command Prompt
      , and then click Run as Administrator.

    • When you are prompted by User Account Control, click Continue.

    • At the command prompt, type net user administrator /active: yes, and then press Enter.

    • Type net user administrator
      <Password>
      , and then press Enter.

      Note In this command, <Password> represents the actual password that you want to set for the administrator account.

    • Type exit, and then press Enter.

    • Log off the current user account. And login and check the are you able to open the files

    ran a command, now I have an extra administrator account that doesn't appear in users

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Does it mean my HDD is useless?
